We give a combinatorial proof of a theorem of Gromov, which extends the scope of small cancellation theory to group presentations arising from labelled graphs.
In a pair of recent papers (one to appear and one forthcoming), the author develops a general version of small cancellation theory applicable in higher dimensions, and then applies this theory to the Burnside groups of sufficiently large…
We generalize a version of small cancellation theory to the class of acylindrically hyperbolic groups. This class contains many groups which admit some natural action on a hyperbolic space, including non-elementary hyperbolic and relatively…
The theory of small cancellation groups is well known. In this paper we introduce the notion of Group-like Small Cancellation Ring. This is the main result of the paper. We define this ring axiomatically, by generators and defining…
We study the positive theory of groups acting on trees and show that under the presence of weak small cancellation elements, the positive theory of the group is trivial, i.e. coincides with the positive theory of a non-abelian free group.…
In the present paper we develop a small cancellation theory for associative algebras with a basis of invertible elements. Namely, we study quotients of a group algebra of a free group and introduce three axioms for the corresponding…
We explain and generalise a construction due to Gromov to realise geometric small cancellation groups over graphs of groups as fundamental groups of non-positively curved 2-dimensional complexes of groups. We then give conditions so that…
Using small cancellation for rotating families of groups, we construct new examples of aspherical polyhedra.
In these notes we detail the geometrical approach of small cancellation theory used by T. Delzant and M. Gromov to provide a new proof of the infiniteness of free Burnside groups and periodic quotients of torsion-free hyperbolic groups.
We introduce and study a relative cancellation property for associative algebras. We also prove a characterization result for polynomial rings which partially answers a question of Kraft.
In this paper, we give a simple proof for the small cancellation conditions of the upper presentations of 2-bridge link groups, which holds the key to the proof of the main result of [1]. We also give an alternative proof of the main result…
We give a new proof of the KAM theorem for analytic Hamiltonians. The proof is inspired by a quantum field theory formulation of the problem and is based on a renormalization group argument treating the small denominators inductively scale…
This is an expository paper on Garland's vanishing theorem specialized to the case when the linear algebraic group is $\mathrm{SL}_n$. Garland's theorem can be stated as a vanishing of the cohomology groups of certain finite simplicial…
The automorphism groups of certain factorial complex affine threefolds admitting locally trivial actions of the additive group are determined. As a consequence new counterexamples to a generalized cancellation problem are obtained.
This article is an expanded version of the talks given by the authors at the Arbeitsgemeinschaft "Totally Disconnected Groups", held at Oberwolfach in October 2014. We recall the basic theory of automorphisms of trees and Tits' simplicity…
After giving an explicit description of all the non vanishing Dolbeault cohomology groups of ample line bundles on grassmannians, I give two series of vanishing theorems for ample vector bundles on a smooth projective variety. They imply a…
We adapt a proof of Lascar in order to show the simplicity of the group of automorphisms fixing pointwise all non-generic elements for a class of uncountable models of suitable theories, encompassing both strongly minimal theories as well…
In this note we prove the classical decomposition theorems for certain subgroups of the automorphism group of the Bruhat-Tits tree associated to $\mathrm{PGL}_{2}(F)$, where $F$ is a local field. The results can be used to understand the…
We give a new proof of the main theorem in the theory of C(6) small cancellation complexes. We prove the fundamental theorem of cubical small cancellation theory for C(9) cubical small cancellation complexes.
We include short and elementary proofs of two theorems characterizing reductive group schemes over a discrete valuation ring, in a slightly more general context.
